Have you checked the calls' headers and responses in the network tab of your browser's developer tools?

Hi Barand

thankyou new to PHP but code above does look right?

[Barand]

There are 5 parts to an ajax call

• generating the call (which you have shown us)
• The headers sent to the server
• the processing on the server
• the response returned
• the processing of the response (also shown)

All of those need to be correct.
